About

OK GO IN CONCERT:

Not many indie rock bands are as irresistibly charming as OK Go. They create truly infectious, sunny alt pop songs and perform them with loads of charisma and quirky playfulness in concert. With confetti cannons exploding at any given time and Andy Warhol-inspired visuals surrounding the stage, this is a band that relishes the art of performance and transforms shows into interactive experiences. One impressive trick they're known for is prompting the crowd to make certain noises, recording the audio, and then playing it back in a song. Masterminding the spectacle is frontman Damian Kulash, who exudes magnetic personality and gives every performance a casual, friendly atmosphere. For a band that's famous for imaginative, eye-grabbing videos, OK Go's live shows prove they're even more captivating in person.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

OK Go formed in Chicago in 1998 and relocated to Los Angeles three years later. After their first pair of EPs captured booking agent Frank Riley's attention, they scored a touring gig alongside fellow indie rockers They Might Be Giants. In 2001 they inked a deal with Capitol Records and released their self-titled debut album, which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Following the release of their sophomore album, 2005's Oh No, the band established a reputation for high-concept, low-budget, one-take music videos. The video for their hit single "Here It Goes Again" -- which features the quartet performing an elaborate treadmill dance routine -- became a viral hit and earned them a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video in 2007. After successful tours opening and co-headlining with indie acts including Snow Patrol, Death Cab for Cutie, Kaiser Chiefs, and Silversun Pickups, they released their third album, 2010's Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky. In 2011 the band cut ties with Capitol and formed the independent imprint Paracadute, making their debut on the new label with the live album 180/365. The band’s fourth studio album, Hungry Ghosts, was released in 2014 and featured a more synth-heavy, electronic-influenced sound.

    Loud, smoky and fun

    by AttendingDad on 4/23/10Magic Stick - Detroit

    Took my daughter and her friend to what would have to be described as their introduction to an intimate Rock Show. Too much smoke, too loud, too much fun -- perfect! The Booze just seemed to have fun and both liked them very much. Fairly raw but they did indeed have an infectious fun nature. Earl Greyhound was pretty talented but you had to want a little headbanger influence for it to be enjoyable. Got to meet the drummer post-show and he was a pleasure to talk to. OK Go was as advertised - good fun, technically sound, fairly intelligent and intimate, etc. Have to give them a lot of credit for attending a small venue like this and making a relatively small number of people very happy. I'm a convert as a 50ish attendee - I enjoyed the whole thing thoroughly.

    OK Go was incredible last night!!!!!

    by IMRockin on 4/23/10Magic Stick - Detroit

    OK Go was great. Excellent musicians and stage presence. I had a blast at their show and can't wait to see them again. Their videos may be really cool, but they are even better live in concert.

    OK GO Fo Sho

    by Anonymous on 4/23/10The Blue Note - Columbia

    My overall rating is in reference to OK GO ONLY....the opening bands were a three at best and I'm being generous....primarily because of the poor sound quality. Great music, great performance, great crowd, great show!

    Those jackets were something else!

    by Jujulinda on 4/22/10The Blue Note - Columbia

    The whole show kick a lot of ass. I just wish the crowd wasn't full of preppy girls who thought Damian was hot. They were a little unresponsive but there were a few who were awesome. I just ignored them and continued to rock out! The hand bells were awesome! The jackets and guitars and confetti just so awesome! KEEP KICKING ASS OK GO!!!!!!!!

    Ok Go was Ok NO

    by forgetit2 on 4/21/10The Blue Note - Columbia

    Both opening bands were not good. Second being horrible. Loud and not worth ruining your hearing for the rest of your life. Ok Go began play at 9:45 which is too late for the middle of the week. We were so annoyed that we had a hard time enjoying OK GO show which was decent and the only reason for the fair review. Will think hard before going to the Blue NOte during the week again and will remember ear plugs if I do.

    Ok Go rocks yet again

    by Katyva on 4/21/10The Blue Note - Columbia

    This was my second Ok Go concert, and I plan to keep attending concerts as long as I can afford tickets. Ok Go never disappoints. If you like high-energy music, sarcastic / irreverent musicians, and ironic hipster esthetic, you will love an Ok Go concert. Just don't stand next to the drunken middle-aged mothers who scream "I LOVE YOU DAMIAN I COULD EAT YOUR FACE" and then grab at the lead singer when he enters the crowd. Synopsis: Music, excellent. Band, cooler than all hell. Other concert-goers, drunk and creepy.

    Another great show from OK Go!

    by Anonymous on 4/21/10The Blue Note - Columbia

    These guys really know how to do live shows! The sound was great, the confetti was a blast and the fellas sure know how to entertain. They played a great mix of new and old....the only one I missed was Cinnamon Lips....but I'm not complaining. I've been to well over 40 concerts in my life (yes, I'm on the older side...whatevs) and I highly recommend checking these guys out!

    Breathtaking!

    by CinnamonLips on 4/17/10Bluebird Theater - Denver

    I've been listening to okgo for 8 years now and absolutely love their music. I've seen them live at least 6 times and this concert was just as stunning as ever. I couldn't have planned it better.

    The Booze rocks!!!

    by Jimmy8James on 4/17/10Bluebird Theater - Denver

    I went to see The Booze and they did not disappoint. They played like legends and infected our souls with true rock n' roll. This band has the ability to become legends and hall of fame inductees. The singer, Chaz Tolliver, can be compared to Mick Jagger with his vocals and movements. Did I just compare him to Mick Jagger? I'm sorry, he is even better! Chaz turns the stage into an electric dance of primal rhythms and his spirit soars far above the audience. You must see him perform before you die. The band has the best song composures I have heard since The Strokes first came out and they are all so fun to listen to. I would even compare them to The Beatles, honestly, I do not know why these guys are not huge all over the world. The band just sways with swagger and plays together so well. They are soulmates on the stage and every one of them played so cool. The guitarists, Randy Michael and Brian Roberts, sounded great! I was right in front of one of their music man amps, I think it was a music man, and I could hear both of them play in between each others rhythms and strums. They gave the songs a bounce and step that was really hard not to dance to. I was so high after hearing them. The bass and drums were brilliant. Drummer PJ Curtis was dead on and nailed the songs together like a fine craftsman. Bassist Jonny Gleaton was so cool. The riffs they were all playing contained hints of past legends. It seems like they listened to the coolest music and made it their mission to bring back the cool. You know that old hard hitting rhythm like Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, The Animals, The Kinks, and the list can just keep going. They have that! Please come back to Denver and headline a show. Bring Tres Bien, The Love Me Knots, or some other bands that will keep your flavor in our ears. I did not like the three bands of the night together. I thought it was such an eclectic and diverse arrangement. I honestly just loved The Booze. Earl Greyhound was great. They had some amazing guitar solos and dirty bass riffs. I liked some of their songs, but it just wasn't my style. Their drummer was awesome. Biggest bass drum I have ever seen. We stayed for 1 OKGO song and left shortly after. They were good, though. Very tight. Peace out!

    AMAZINGNESS!!!

    by hheeaaattthher on 4/15/10Bluebird Theater - Denver

    OK Go puts on one hell of a show! I liked when they played church handbells, and I also thought it was cool when they kept throwing tons of tambourines into the audience! They were super entertaining and creative with their performance, and the music sounded like it was straight off the record! Everything was spot on, and they seemed like really cool guys too. They recognized a fan from the crowd who had put a drum cover of one of their songs on youtube, so they pulled him up on stage and let him play the drums to one of their songs! I think it's really cool that they care about their fans enough to watch all those youtube covers of their songs and even be able to recognize an individual fan at one of their shows.

    Ok Go puts on a fun show

    by gtrachel on 4/15/10Bluebird Theater - Denver

    By the time Ok Go came out, we'd already been there for two and a half hours and listened to two bands that majorly sucked. The Booze seemed like a flimsily-inspired Beatles rip-off, with their singer dancing around like he had an unfortunate medical condition and the other guys barely moving at all. Earl Greyhound was painfully amateur, and their outfits made me laugh in confusion. Were they all interested in the same genre of music? Hard to tell. They put out an album "independently" - need I say more? So we were about ready to leave in disgust with Ok Go finally appeared, but they were great, and the show had the kind of clever, delightful playfulness that one expects after watching their awesome music videos. I was only disappointed that the lead singer was the only one to talk and we didn't get to engage with the other guys. They looked great, though, and the music was all we'd hoped for.

    OK Go puts on a ridiculously fun-filled show!

    by KittyMommy on 11/23/09The Basement - Columbus

    I've been going to OK Go shows since they used to open for They Might Be Giants in the early 2000's. They have always put on such a fantastically fun-filled show, full of imagination and creativity. Most recently, they've added church hand bells to their musical instrument repertoire! Add to that, an ever-flowing confetti machine and you've got an evening of fun! I am and will remain a big OK Go fan and will always go see them live whenever I have the chance!

    OK Go at their best

    by PatrickZ on 11/15/09Grog Shop - Cleveland

    OK Go played a high energy set in the very intimate setting of the Grog Shop in Cleveland. They played several songs off of their upcoming CD coming out in January along with many favorites. They played their hand-bell version of "What to Do" which was amazing to see live. After the show they mulled around with the crowd promoting their new album, signing people up for their email list and chatting and visiting. Fame has not gone to these guys heads and they are a pleasure to meet and talk to. If you ever get the chance to see one of their shows, GO! You will not regret it.

    Ok Go is so worth seeing

    by danielleeu on 11/6/09The Basement - Columbus

    The Ok Go concert at The Basement was amazing! These guys are one of the best bands I have ever seen live...and although The Basement is a small venue, if you get there early you can be practicly on the stage, you are so close. The show was great! If you haven't seen OK Go yet in concert...get tickets! They are so worth it!

    OK Go was incredible. Damian is a showman.

    by cdmayer on 11/6/09The Basement - Columbus

    This was the best concert I have ever attended. Besides the fact that OK Go has some of the most interesting and unique music out there, they are incredible live. Damian Kulash (lead singer, guitar) has great pipes, and he makes the show interesting with witty banter and jokes. He alone made the show worthwhile. Tickets were a steal at only $12, I would have paid twice as much. Also, the band stayed after the show to talk to attendees, and they were all really cool guys who cared about their fans. All around, this was a great show.
